there is no such thing as ''a meaning of life''

We shot this video in Italy, in and around venice. It was a very real experience of thought uncontrolled by outside forces and free to roam. There is much more footage that is going to be made into a Doc on Prof. Krieglsteins philosophies.

A meaning is an abstraction. From the latin root. abstractio, drawn away. Therefore a meaning is a mental construction that doesn't manifest itself other then in individual or collective conscience. Life is a process, a segment between the zygote state and ultimately senescence. Matter has a mute monologue. In a similar fashion to Kant, reason is analytic inquiry seeking more then it can ontologically know. i.e. one can never know the reason why it rains, only how.

Interesting, I had never heard of this guy before but came across his name as I was studying the idea of 'transcendence' ....
